The Sabbath belongs to the Lord. The people belong to the Lord. The land belongs to the Lord. Every 7 days, we reset. Every 7 years, we release. Shabbat resets. Shmita releases. We've been forgiven, so we forgive. We've been released, so we release others. Discover the power of forgiveness in our final message from Leviticus: “Reset & Release.”Link: https://restoration.subspla.sh/xxgbccj#thehappyrabbi #restorationseattle #JewishinSeattle #Passover #shavuot
Shabbat and the Festivals are God's gift to help us catch our breath. Each time we pause from our regular work, we're invited to taste eternity—a sacred rhythm of rest, joy, and presence.

In the Torah, God healed the Israelites from snake bites when they looked up at the bronze serpent—not because it had power, but because they repented and trusted Him. As former slaves in Egypt, they knew the belief: “The thing that bites you can heal you.” Likewise, Yeshua was lifted up so we could look to Him, repent, and live. Sometimes, what's hurting you is what God uses to lift your eyes to Him. Watch The Passover Lamb, Part 2 to see how this points to Yeshua as Passover ends!Link: https://restoration.subspla.sh/3kf5r94#thehappyrabbi #restorationseattle #JewishinSeattle

Discover the profound pattern—the shadow and the reality—of the Passover lamb. The parallels between the Passover sacrifice and Yeshua are undeniable.

In wilderness situations, it's common to feel stuck and to complain. However, God encourages us to move forward. Complaining can trap us in resentment, while lamenting allows for growth. If you're going through a difficult season, remember that God isn't judging you; instead, He wants to draw you closer to Him. The Lord will accompany you in the wilderness, helping you build trust for every season. He gives us permission to lament as we wait for Him to move.

A "Vayigash" moment (Hebrew for "he approached") presents us with a choice: to draw near to God or to retreat. These moments cannot be created by us; only God can bring them into our lives.
